    VIP arrived

    Thanks, everyone. I know it's cheesy to say, but I think the guitar looks better in person.  The pictures don't really show the dark trans. blue back or very much of the ebony grain fretboard and mahogan neck. To Phrygian, the transition is pretty good.  At first, just out of the box, I was a...

    VIP arrived

    The rotary switch came from a Squier, actually.  I couldn't find anywhere else that sold a three way, just fives.  There's actually a thread on here with wiring diagrams - check the wiring section for "Help Needed on Custom Wiring".  That's me. The JB is a great pickup.  I have two Strats; the...

    Earvana Nut question

    It is a VIP-style neck.  I just emailed Earvana for the order change.  I would've called, but I'm on EST, and it's probably about 6 AM there...  Good catch, Superbeast!  Thanks for the messages, too.  I think my ass has been saved.  Unless that Fender-style shows up.  I feel like such a newb. ...

    Help needed on unusual custom wiring

    Good help DimitriR33, this is what I've put together from your description: Let me know if I have this wrong...  Now when I ground the wires from the jack, the pots, and the bridge (a Gotoh 510), what can I ground these TO?  It seems like this is a step a lot of people have trouble with...

    Earvana Nut question

    Ok, so I have a Warmoth build on the way, and I realized I hadn't ordered the Earvana nut yet.  I went to Earvana's site, and while selecting the right nut, there's an option for "Fender Base - Curved or Flat".  I have a Warmoth Pro "Warmoth" 1 11/16" neck being matched to a VIP body.  I...

    Help needed on unusual custom wiring

    I had to take a second to figure this out, too.  You have to have the picture online somewhere for it to post here.  Most people use photobucket.com.  I did that, but I've also used myspace, just by posting the picture and finding the link to the actual picture, not the page the picture is on...

    Help needed on unusual custom wiring

    No, no coil taps.  Just straight up 2 Hum - 2 Volume - 3 Way Rotary.  Bridge - both - Neck.  Sorry about the confusion. I would even be happy with Bridge - Dead - Neck.  Get some of those cut-out effects!

    Help needed on unusual custom wiring

    Ok, I've kind of comped together the wiring diagram from SD and the picture of the switch.  And I drew a line into where I think Alfang is talking about the hot output.  Does anyone want to jump in with MS Paint and draw their own completion?

    Help needed on unusual custom wiring

    First, thanks for the help, guys.  I know I promised photos, but work... you know how it is. I took a look at the wiring schematic you sent, chrisk, and it made things a little better.  I have to admit, I'm a total newb at this, so I'm having a little trouble adjusting in my head what I see as...

    Help needed on unusual custom wiring

    Ok, my VIP is around the corner from being delivered, but I'm having some trouble getting the wiring ready.  I think I'm going to go with two STK-P1s, the Seymour Duncan Stacked P-90.  Bridge and neck, obviously.  And two volumes. Here's my problem:  I have a three-way rotary selector switch...

    VIP Cases

    I seem to remember reading somewhere on the old forum that VIPs are slightly oversized and don't fit many cases very well.  Does anyone have any suggestions on what sort of hardcase to use? I would love to get a tweed hard case from somewhere, but not if it doesn't fit...
